HISTORY: Hong Kong prepares for the top by ending mandatory COVID-19 hotel quarantine for the first time in more than two and a half years.
Travel agencies reported that requests increased 10-fold.
World currency center chief John Lee said Friday (Sept. 23) that arriving foreigners can simply return home or seek accommodation of their choice, but must self-monitor for three days at the entrance.
Barbara Van Moppes, a 58-year-old Hong Kong resident, is so excited by the news that she replaced her flights so she could return to Hong Kong on the day restrictions were lifted.
“The rest of the world opened up and therefore Hong Kong was falling and I think you just want to open up now and go back to being general because it’s a fantastic position to live in. “
Travel ExpediaHong Kong said searches from Japan increased 10-fold in the news, while those from Taiwan nearly doubled in the past 14 days.
Trip. com said flight searches were up 95-fold and orders were up 50 percent on its Hong Kong site the week, with Tokyo, Bangkok, Osaka and Singapore among the smartest destinations.
However, Monday’s change leaves Hong Kong far behind the world when it comes to reducing brakes.
International arrivals closed to bars and restaurants for 3 days.
Although they are allowed to move on to paintings and school, they have to do several COVID tests in the first week after their arrival.
Still, Hong Kong’s Travel Industry Council expects overseas to rise by as much as 50 percent in the coming months, its chief executive told state broadcaster RTHK.
But add that expansion would be limited through the number of outbound flights, while inbound tourism is expected to increase greatly, inhibited by existing restrictions.
